If you're looking for a pick me up, fuel for protein, or a picnic DEFINITELY don't hesitate and pop over for the best chicken in your life. I got the cilantro lime with jalapenos and sriracha.

The chef recommended the thigh and Im glad I went with that! The fried chicken thigh sandwich is the star, juicy, thick breading that is delicious. All sandwiches on a brioche bun and come w/ seasoned fries as a side. The upstate (buffalo flavor) was less wet with sauce than I expected but it was better to let the crunchy chicken shine. The ranch slaw on the sandwich was nice tang although mellow. The deluxe salad is a hefty salad with your choice of chicken, we tried grilled and it was very tasty and good size chunks! Not skimpy! However, The honey mustard dressing was just way too sweet (that is just a personal taste issue, some love sugary). I'd try the spicy ranch next time. (we took food to go, back home so could add vinegar to the salad. then, yum) Cool spot!

I also love how there are no bones. I loved all the sauces you could choose to go with them. My only complaint is that you couldn't just buy an extra thigh as a side. I had to try it, but the meal was a bit much for me at lunch time. My boyfriend and I came for lunch one day, and it was so good we returned with our friends the next day so they could try it. Everyone, kids included really enjoyed their meal. We tried the thighs with a few different sides. The waffle fries and the corn bread were the standouts. I wanted to try a couple of the sandwiches or the bowl, but unfortunately we're sold out. I saw people eating them and they looked delicious. The only thing I didn't love were the wings. They were a bit greasy for me, but everything else was top notch. Only wish this place was open later, when I have more of an appetite for fried food. Great place for a quick bite and the views at the end of the road are spectacular.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE For those used to the Popeyes…read morelocations in the US, the menu is slightly different and the chicken pieces a little smaller - other than that, it's nearly identical and great if you like the taste of Popeyes chicken! === 2. FOOD We got the usual order of eight pieces of all dark-meat chicken for $26, half spicy and half not. The flavour profile is identical to that of the US-based Popeyes locations. The price is a little higher than that of the US, and the sides and desserts are a little different, but it's the same otherwise. === 3. SERVICE It's always busy every time we come here; however, the staff seem to be on top of things. Waiting for your takeout order is a little strange though, as there's not much of a waiting area without intruding on dine-in customers. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It matches the current corporate requirements for decor; there are a few tables around the sides of the restaurant and you're likely best to keep your group to medium or small in size. It's been a little hot/stuffy every time we've come here, which differ from other Popeyes locations in Canada and the US, so that may need attention. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit easily. Parking can be tricky as the ground level of the Tuscany Village complex is typically busy - so good luck or look for parking underground.
